OCTAVE have just celebrated their 20th anniversary!
The ensemble
came into being in 1988 as a new venture into an essentially
classical repertoire. The balanced set of eight voices enables it
to offer a wide range of music from the pre-Renaissance to the
contemporary.
The group is well established as one of the foremost and most able
vocal ensembles in Suffolk, and expanded its repertoire to include
a wide variety of lighter music - madrigals, glees and arrangements
of folk, comic and popular
songs.
Paul, Bob and Norman have
been singing together since 1976, when they started the group
Front Porch Harmony, which some of you may remember. In
the 80s and early 90s they entertained unaccompanied and from
memory. Linda and Tracey joined us at the birth of Octave,
Birgitta in the '90s, William and David this century.
Of our many appearances in East Anglia over
the past 20 years we may note particularly the concerts for music
societies and academies, new vocal/instrumental works by local
composers Alan Bullard, Andrew Sterling and Alan Parsons, concerts
with the late Yaltah Menhuin at Orwell Park, and a number of the
concert series in St Edmundsbury Cathedral and St Mary-le Tower
Church, Ipswich.
This concert at Offton is their first
performance in the New Year.
